Arise, O compatriots
Nigeria’s call obey
To Serve our Fatherland
With love and strength and faith
The labour of our heroes past
Shall never be in vain
To serve with hearth and might
One nation bound in freedom
Peace and unity

O God of creation
Direct our noble cause;
Guide our leaders right
Help our youth the truth to know,
In love and honesty to grow
And living just and true;
Great lofty heights attain;
To build a Nation where peace
And justice shall reign.

I Pledge to Nigeria My country
To be faithful, loyal and honest
To serve Nigeria with all my strength
To defend her unity and uphold
Her honour and glory,
So, help me God
